Give it a Name

if there is hate in your mind
if there is pain in your heart
if there is love in your world
if there is any hope at all
then give it a name
give this thing a name and say it
again and again
give it a name
if the ground begins to shake
if you're tired and sick to race
if you wanna sneak a thousand looks
but what you see you've never read in books
then give it a name...
this is the day - to start again
to think again
this is the day
if there's a secret nobody knows
if there's a truth left untold
when you find yourself put down - mislead
it jealousy, deceit and conceit
mess with your head
give it a name
give this thing a name and say it
again and again
if there is hate in your mind
if there is pain in your heart
give it a name.


What the wind's blowin' 'round

the six a.m. subway leaves town
the tired faces don't look around
earphones plugged into the sound
a noise that eats up roads and towns
stop... and breathe again
and bleed... and bleed...
your eyes they don't shine
you're walking blind
I could walk away
should sleep all day (it's at your door)
in a cold blue sky
heard a stifled cry
have you heard
what the wind's blowin' 'round
the open hands we'll keep them closed
a cheerless sun will rise in desperation
any fool will tell you this
sure as gravity or like the morning paper
and they stop to breathe again
and bleed... and bleed...
your eyes they don't shine
you're walking blind
I could walk away
should sleep all day (it's at your door)
in a cold blue sky
heard a subtle cry
have you heard
what the wind's blowin' 'round
hey have you heard
what the wind's blowin' 'round
in a cold blue sky
heard a screaming cry
have you heard
what the wind's blowin' 'round
say have you heard
what the wind's blowin' 'round.

Sylvia suddenly

She gets off, this stop, last look around
says 'you're all the luck I've found
but now my luck has gone'
I'll return a finer time
I have learned
to speak my mind
but have found that no one here
was listening!
and I... I finally decide
to call you. to name you.
Sylvia Suddenly
will you or won't you cover me?
Sylvia desperatly
her wicked child
you lose yourself
like a lovesong
in the end
when all your beauties are counted
when they ask you to stay
say: 'I doubt it'
this is all that the heavens would allow
I wouldn't fool you
tip my hat and come right thru you
just to tell you
tht again... I suitably decide
to call you. to name you
Sylvia Suddenly
will you or won't you cover me?
Sylvia desperatly
well, hey wicked child you lose yourself
Sylvia Suddenly
let me be with u
mindlessly
Sylvia unearthly
Sylvia unearthly...

Room to revolution

Be here with me
yours faithfully
I walk the empty house again
one door opens, one door closing
welcome malice welcome retreat
there's a room to Revolution
speak again sister speak out the hour
there's a room to Revelation
silence the sound of the guilty song
there's a room to revolution
sweet and loose the sound
sweet and loose the sound
count the hours
I suppose it matters
I don't recall the pledge I made
no stream is greater - no tower higher
cancel the courtyard pleasures
there's a room to Revolution
speak again sister speak out the hour
there's a room to Revelation
deep in the backrows of your mind
speak again sister - speak out the hour
speak it out - now
evening colours - wine and water
no man's secret could cover
be here with me
see what I see
driving a steady destuction
there's a room to revolution
hey far away - wake up from yesterday
there's a room to revelation
silence the sound of the guilty song
there's a room to revolution
sweet and loose the sound
sweet and loose the sound.

My man

Down at the corner
bodies stick together
and sweat
take me down the stonesteps
take me out of my head
and be... someplace else
ain't got time to waste
I dig life the best fast
but I saw the man
tomato-bacon-tanned
my man
it's a fine day for singing
no right day for complaining
my man
with my man
ten kids on a fire-escape
the magic mouse don't eat cheese
my man
took a trip to nowhere
wind up you know where
with my man
I don't care what hits me
wait till daddy takes me
my man
but I saw the man
tomato-bacon-tanned
my man
ain't got no troubles living
ain't got no troubles dying
with my man
my man
funny wings they beat
over my street
walk on hot coals
I stopped to consider
what I had to lose
but I'm sold
by man with my man.

Mr. Judge

Hey mister my hands are cold
I see no one here
could touch my soul
the lord on high
ain't on my side
why should I stay?
my time abide
I had a job hard to find
don't believe the priest
and his simple song
the wedding gown bought for my love
tore it apart tore it from my heart
last night I took a ride
in my car by the riverside
I saw a man and I saw his wife
well I rode them over...
now tell me mr. judge
why I still sleep fine
I still sleep fine sleep.

Sacrifice

Are you circling - are you turning
fascination's so reassuring
count the roads to your destination
can't stop the train - girl -
when it's left the station
what we're beginning - could be ending
right this minute right this second
would you give up the full table
my love is endless my love is alive
will you sacrifice our live? will you?
can't you tell my thoughts
can't you feel my pulse beating
I'm entangled in your hair
I'm running thru your veins
like an ocean like a river
coming thru your world
like a sister like a brother
wi
